Tiger Woods known as ‘José’ by Brit-born lover Emma Rotherham

The British woman named as one of
Tiger Woods lovers reportedly hid their affair by saying she was having golf lessons with a man named José.

Emma Rotherham is the latest in a long line of women named as one Tiger Woods mistresses.

Emma Rotherham , the British-born mistress of Tiger Woods, pretended she was having golf lessons to cover up her trysts with the golf ace.

Emma, who lives in Celebration, not far from Tiger’s gated community near Orlando, Florida, used the codename Jose whenever he called her and had his number saved in her phone under the alias.

“It’s been going on for just under two years,” a source told The Sun. “She lived very close to him and would go to his Florida office at least once a week.”

“But she told family and friends she was going for golf lessons with Jose and his name was saved on her phone under that name.”

Yesterday, the News of the World named Emma as number 12 in Tiger’s list of lovers â though the true number of his affairs is believed to be considerably higher.

It is believed that single mum Emma met Tiger at the Blue Martini bar, where she was a regular, and that Tiger paid her £300,000 to keep quiet about their affair.

So far, Emma hasn’t commented on the allegations, but she reportedly ‘went ballistic’ when she heard their affair had been exposed. She and Woods could face a tax inquiry over the alleged pay-off, as large cash gifts must be declared.

Meanwhile, the shamed golfer is said to be undergoing treatment for sex addiction in a Mississippi rehab clinic.
